WORKSHOP – COATING YOUR OWN PHOTO PAPER, TORSTEN WIECZOREK 23

Create your own liquid emulsions for black and white printing
Handmade silver gelatin is essentially a brand new old process. It keeps one foot in the past while being able to weave itself into today‘s photographic tools and materials. Beginning in 1880, silver gelatin defined photography for well over one hundred years. We try to tie together the historical and the contemporary as related to silver gelatin emulsion making and printing.

This workshop is for photographers who love the look and creative potential of traditional black and white photography but who want more control over the process and the product. We help you to understand the initial processes and make you feel comfortable to get started.
